~ Father Still Knows Best ~

Part 1

Elizabeth Webber was in love.

She had been ever since the day she laid eyes on her boyfriend for the first time. It had truly been love at first sight for the brunette who could never have imagined that finding the one would have been this effortless. Especially considering her father had invested a lot of time and energy helping her find the perfect mate for so long prior to that. Telling her dad about her feelings for Jason, who was her driver at the time, hadn't been an easy task for the young woman; but after the initial choc, her father had realized how good they were for each other and was now extremely happy she had finally given her heart to someone.

Nonetheless, Jeff hadn't stopped worrying.

He would constantly ask Elizabeth about when she was planning on making her union with Jason official; her father wouldn't be completely satisfied until his youngest daughter tied the knots with the man of her choice and he would do everything to see it happen. And even though doctor Webber had initially made Elizabeth believe he wasn't crazy about her relationship with Jason, Jeff actually loved the young man in who he could see a lot of himself.

Jeff adored Jason.

He had been impressed by the young man's passion and dedication to his work, his honesty, his humility, so many traits he thought would make him the perfect fit for his daughter. He undeniably was the best possible match for her and thanks to the doctor's great matchmaking skills, the young couple was going strong; the next logical step was getting them engaged. Now that Sarah was finally with child, Jeff was bored and at loss of ideas to push Elizabeth to consider marrying Jason.

But Jeff would find a way, he always did.

Every wedding ceremony the Webbers attended was an occasion for Jeff to remind his daughter of how happy he would be to see her as a bride and how beautiful she would look walking down the aisle dressed in white. Doctor Webber never failed to remind his daughter that a wedding was the celebration of a couple's love, to share with their close family and friends. But Elizabeth would always reply the same thing "That's wonderful Dad!" before changing the subject. And when Jeff proceeded to tell his daughter that he wasn't getting any younger and that he couldn't wait to walk her down the aisle, the young woman had responded that he was in perfect health and would be there to give away his daughter whenever she would be ready.

Unfortunately for Jeff, Elizabeth didn't want to rush things with Jason.

Elizabeth consciously chose to ignore all of her father's innuendoes and suggestions of a wedding to instead let him know that Jason and she were at a great place and that there was no reason putting a strain on their relationship by having them stress over a marriage when they were perfectly happy just the way they were. The pair had never seriously discussed the subject, but Elizabeth doubted marriage was anywhere near Jason's mind as all his time and preoccupation was concentrated on getting his new auto repair shop up and running.

*****

Elizabeth who had barely seen her boyfriend in the past month decided to surprise him at work hoping she could steal a few minutes of his precious time to make up for the lonely hours she had had to endure away from him. The young woman who was wearing her most form fitting pair of jeans, a breezy shirt she had conveniently failed to button up all the way to the top and very high peep toed heels, entered the new shot scoping the room as she felt a sense of pride knowing her man had worked so hard to start his own business, refusing all help from the Quartermaines or her father.

Elizabeth ran a hand in her cascading curls, walking deeper in the shop to find Jason until she was stopped by a bleach blonde stranger. "Sorry but beyond this point is for employees only." She boldly told Elizabeth with a pretentious smile.

"Um… I know. I'm here to see Jason." Elizabeth said then tried walking past the other woman who didn't move of an inch.

"Elizabeth?" Jason called out from the back of the room, his voice startling the young woman in front of his girlfriend. Elizabeth took the opportunity to sneak past the territorial blonde and walk up to her man.

"I wasn't expecting you here. That's a nice surprise." Jason added, locking his girlfriend in his embrace. "And I must say I like surprises." He said, lowering his mouth to grace her pulpous pink lips with a sweet kiss.

"I missed you this week so I decided to come by. I hope I'm not disturbing?" Elizabeth said, looking around the room.

"Of course not, and you came at the perfect time because I really could use a break." He said causing a ravishing smile to appear on her cherry lips until Jason kissed it away.

But the other woman quickly walked up to the pair, a large cardboard box in hand, interrupting their moment. "Hum... hum…" She cleared her throat. "Jason, where should I empty this box?"

"Um… over there." He said, pointing towards the front of the shop. They then watched the blonde woman turn on her unconventionally high boots and drag her feet to the indicated spot.

"Who is she?" Elizabeth asked, one of her eyebrows raised high.

"Courtney… I hired her a few days ago. She's going to be working here with Max, Milo, Johnny and me."

"That's the new guy?" Elizabeth rhetorically asked pointing towards the heavy makeup wearing bimbo who already acted as if she owned the place.

"I never said our new hire was a guy." Jason answered.

"Well you never said she was a tall blonde either!" Elizabeth retorted.

"Oh don't tell me you're jealous because she has nothing on you." Jason said slightly flattered by Elizabeth's reaction.

"Why would I be jealous, I have no reason to be…" Elizabeth said, brushing the subject off. "Anyway, I wanted to see you because I was thinking we could have dinner tonight, or just go out and kick back at Jake's, have some fun you know. It's been a while… and I know it's not easy with the new garage but I just wanted to get you for myself for a few hours. Selfish I know but what can I say, I can't get enough of you."

Jason answered her with a half smile. "Tonight?"

"Yes tonight, just you and me… what do you say?" She faced him with a dazzling smile making it impossible for him to resist her.

The young man hesitated before he finally answered. "Alright." He said, then met her lips with his.

Elizabeth was overjoyed to be able to finally spend some alone time with her lover, after so long. She left the shop extremely happy and ready to plan the perfect evening for her and her boyfriend. Unfortunately her happy state didn't last long when a call from Jason blew all her plans to pieces.

"Are you telling me you can't make it tonight?"

"I'm sorry." The young man apologized.

"Why?"

"I still have a lot of work to finish tonight, and tomorrow morning we have our first formal staff meeting and I want everything to be ready by then. It wouldn't be a good message to send if I rescheduled our first meeting."

The brunette's eyes couldn't express more disappointment. All she wanted was to spend some time with the man she loved but it seemed doing that very simple thing had become a privilege.

"I'm really sorry, and I promise as soon as everything is up and running we'll go away, just you, me and my bike."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Alright… I guess I'll let you get back to work." Elizabeth said then hung up the phone the reality that they wouldn't get to spend their six months anniversary together sinking in her mind.

*****

Elizabeth, who now had a free evening, decided to swing by the Webber mansion to spend some time with her father who always complained he didn't get to see enough of her. It had been really difficult for the older man to see his daughter move out of the family home but it was a necessary step for her to grow up. Now all he needed to help her realize was that Jason was the marrying kind.

Jeff who was reading in his living room quickly left his book to give all his attention to his daughter who he was always extremely happy to see. "Hey you! What are you doing here?"

"Just felt like visiting. Is Mom around?" Elizabeth asked her father.

"No, your mother is having a poker night with Monica and Tracy so I am on my own tonight… " The older man answered.

"Well that sounds fun."

"Not for me, husbands are not invited… You know what I should reunite Alan and Luke for a good old cigar and booze night."

"Dad!" Elizabeth sad in a highly accusatory tone. "You're a doctor so I don't need to remind you how bad this would be for you."

"You want to know what else is bad for me?" Jeff replied.

"What?" The brunette asked.

Dr. Webber grinned before answering. "Not seeing you happily married just like Stephen and Sarah."

"Not that again…" Elizabeth let out an exasperated sigh. "Like I told you I will get married when the time is right and sorry but I really don't think it will be anytime soon."

"Wow don't talk like that Lizzie, Jason would make a wonderful husband and then father. I just know it." Her father told her.

"Please Dad don't start… I'm not really in the mood to argue with you right now."

"No need for an argument daughter because I know you agree with me even if you won't admit it." Jeff confidently declared.

"I didn't come here to talk about marriage… it really seems like it's the only thing we ever talk about and then you wonder why I don't come by that often." Elizabeth complained.

"Ok… you truly are in a bad mood." Dr. Webber remarked, seeing how snappy his daughter was.

"I'm sorry dad, I didn't mean that… I'm just a little irritated right now." Elizabeth said dropping on a nearby sofa.

"What's wrong? Is your latest art project stressing you?" Her father asked, coming to stand next to her.

"No… this is going great, I took amazing photos of the docks yesterday." Elizabeth reassured him.

"Ok so is it living in that big empty loft of yours that depresses you? You know if you don't like your new life in that place you can always move back in here, your mother and I would be so happy to have you back… and Jason could move in too…"

"Dad I'm perfect there, I love my apartment…" She informed him. "And by the way living with Jason would probably look very much like living with a ghost."

"Oh oh… what's going on?" Jeff asked, worried that months of hard work were possibly disintegrating in front of his eyes. It had been way too difficult scheming to place these two in the same orbit to let it be destroyed. "Is everything ok with Jason?"

"We're fine Dad, don't worry… I'm not going back to being single anytime soon if that's what you're worried about." Elizabeth reassured her father.

"I am worried about you Lizzie. So tell me, what happened, what did he do?"

"He didn't do anything. Anything at all… and that's kind of the problem. I've barely seen him this month… and I understand that he's busy setting the garage up and all but I just wish he would make a little room for me you know… especially today."

"You know, I'm sure he misses you too. But he has a lot to deal with right now, he needs to make sure his shop starts on the right note so his creditors are happy and he also needs to make sure his team works well together… right now he has a lot on his plate and I'm sure once everything is up and running you'll get to see more of him." Jeff offered his words of wisdom.

"I know… I know and I kind of sound a little stupid for even stressing about this but I can't help it, I just want to be with him."

"There is nothing wrong with missing the man you love. It kind of reminds me of your mother and I when we first got together. We were both very busy doctors and it wasn't always easy finding the time to see each other so we made the time. I would wait until she got out of surgery, or between consultations and we would meet in the break room… and the supply closets came very handy too…" Her father added with a guilty smile.

"Ewww Dad! TMI!" Elizabeth squealed standing to her feet. "But you just gave me a great idea." She said jumping to lock her arms around her father's neck. "I love you Dad!"

"Love you too." He said watching his daughter run out of the living room with her ravishing smile back in its rightful place.
